An informal research study was done of faculty men's perspectives concerning the Graduate Core Program in the Graduate School of Professional Studies at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon. The purpose of the investigation was to determine how teaching gender-related studies affected the male faculty; what they learned about gender issues from their female colleagues who taught with them; and how these experiences affected their teaching, other work, or personal life. The faculty men interviewed (N=10) had revealed that they had some acquaintance with women's issues, that they were supportive of political expressions of feminism, and that they were ready to learn more about these issues. They claimed that teaching with confident, knowledgeable women had helped intensify and personalize what had before been rather abstract and theoretical understandings. Some of the women students in the classes reinforced ideas which the men learned from female colleagues, e.g., being demeaned, ignored, and rendered invisible by males in school and at work. The male faculty now felt themselves better informed about gender issues and to have clearer perspectives on how women view the world. They suggested including better materials on race and class problems faced by all oppressed groups. Contains nine references. (GLR)
